Klementine's Favorite :)

Only the older ones will understand the title..everyone else, please fire up a search engine ;)

Never in my life did I think I would feel comfortable as a walking laundry detergent barrel!
But then I slowly started to like these pure, clean scents like "Chemise Blanche," "Glow," and "Aldhèyx" more and more.

"The muse" appeared frequently in the statements, and after DaveGahan's, the decision to buy was made.
Oh yes, I became a victim of the hype :D

I got exactly what I expected: full laundry detergent of the highest purity level in perfection!
And it is simply beautiful and gives me a wonderfully clean feeling.
The first spray catapults you directly and headfirst into the laundry detergent. Not dusty, but with a soapy creaminess. The feeling of rubbing soap flakes in your hand.
Clean, caring, pH-neutral, and still dazzlingly white!
Over time, the scent becomes milder. Like the scent of outdoor-dried white laundry, which also releases its fragrance over time - but never loses its pure radiance.
Visually, I always think of a freshly sharpened white colored pencil. A sharp tip that gradually becomes softer while painting.
A preference for synthetic scents is a prerequisite to enjoy this muse.

Stress - I don't care, I stay clean
Sweaty heat - doesn't bother me
Risk of failing deodorant - also irrelevant
Dirty weather - can't touch me
:D

I feel soapy clean!

To avoid any misunderstandings: dirty humor and wicked word creations go wonderfully with this purity too :-p

I wondered if this has anything to do with the current Corona pandemic? Hand washing, face masks, and the awareness of this invisible danger, which can only be partially defended against with distance and sensible hygiene.

For my laundry, I use detergent only in the smallest possible amount and generally do not use fabric softener. Therefore, my laundry never smells that intense. My neighbor doses much 'generously' and in summer, her laundry actually gives off a "The muse" vibe.

What I've noticed about this scent is the perception depending on the dosage. When sprayed a lot, the longevity is around ~6-7 hours. However, if I only apply a maximum of 2 sprays on my wrist, I can easily perceive the scent for over 10 hours.
This has not happened to me before. I think it has to do with adaptation.

By the way, this bottle is perfect for refilling with a syringe.

Stay clean ;)
In comparison
"Chemise blanche" - overall softer with a slight floral note (the colored pencil is soft)
"Glow@JenniferLopez" - fresh out of the shower, with creamy shower lotion

Sounds like an ideal scent for nurses, and Hasi should like it too.

You described that very accurately; one of those candidates should be brought home. The trophy is yours.

The trophy has long been awarded, but here's a quick response to the comment: The Clementine! I remember it from its comeback in the 90s and it’s such a memorable advertising icon. Thanks for that alone :-) The scent has been on my list for a while; your comment just confirmed it!

Klementine, of course! I also don't like it when laundry detergent and fabric softener are overused. When we lived in apartment buildings, scent clouds often wafted through the entire stairwell from the drying rooms. I imagine a subtle dose would be quite pleasant, though.

Great clean comment. I enjoyed reading it. Whether I would like a scent like laundry detergent would depend on the test.

Just like with laundry detergent, overdoing it is counterproductive. Wonderful comment. I can picture you in black and white, and the hairstyle... And when I think of Glow, I can't help but remember the excellent novel by Ned Beauman!

I enjoyed reading your comment and feel the same way about the scent. I'm also surprised that I've grown so fond of a "laundry detergent scent."

I found the white blouse to smell terribly strong of soap, but this one is really well done.

Ah, the lovely Clementine... Such nice memories. I do enjoy a clean and fresh scent, and I can handle synthetic fragrances now and then. But I've been quite hesitant with the Zarkos; nothing has really impressed me yet. I really like your comment, though!

Haha, Clementine, yes, that's the privilege of getting older, knowing such funny characters. And those consistent scents often have something appealing about them too.
